Mountain Rescue Centre

The Mountain Rescue Centre is the Headquarters of both Mountain Rescue and Search and Rescue. It is run by Tom Thomas.

Description[]

This search and rescue base is situated in the valley near the Pontypandy mountain range. Originally, it was a small, log building surrounded by railings. It has a balcony with a windsock and a helipad for Wallaby 1 and 2, the mountain rescue helicopter. It has a satellite dish on the roof and a small tree out the back. This is the place of work for Tom Thomas and also the place he lives. In Alien Alert, it was completely renewed just like Pontypandy Fire Station and the Boat House.
